Common questions

Is the Ruger Vaquero Bisley restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Ruger Vaquero Bisley (revolver, chambered in .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, made in United States of America) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 34657. Classification attaches to the specific firearm rather than the model name, so variants with a different barrel length, overall length or action can carry a different class. Confirm the record matches the firearm in front of you, and verify with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before any transfer.

What licence do I need to buy a Ruger Vaquero Bisley?

A restricted PAL, and the firearm must be registered to you before you take possession. Transport generally requires an authorization to transport, and if this is a handgun the October 2022 transfer freeze applies to most transfers between individuals.

What is FRN 34657?

FRN 34657 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Ruger Vaquero Bisley record in the Firearms Reference Table.
